was hailed a great success.
An idea formed back in July
1971 by the Board of Trustees of
the Plainedge Public Library, the
Plainedge Community Blood
Program, after six months of
diligent, strenous work by
hundreds of volunteers, is now an
established program in
Plainedge.
Representatives -of all
segments of the community came
to the public library between the
hours of 1 and 6 p.m. to donate
blood or to help. Members of civic
associations, fraternal groups,
boy scouts, girl scouts, P.T.A.'s,
religious organizations and just
plain Mr. and Mrs. Plainedge
turned out in spite of a driving
''rainstorm.
127 pints of blood were
collected and a community blood .
Srogram was established. Under .
le program, every resident of
Plainedge, U.F.S.D. 18, T.O.B. is
eligible. Thanks to the efforts of
Dorothy Strong, Chairman of the
Program, and many, many other
volunteers, this Important
community service returns to
Plainedge.
Residents will be given another
chance to participate in this
worthwhile community event in
the fall when a second drive is
planned. Further information
concerning the Plainedge
Community Blood Program, is
available for the Chairman, Mrs.
Dorothy Strong, at MY 4-5831 or

Local Musicians
In Jericho Concert
Five local musicians, members
of the Long Island Youth Or­chestra,
will perform in the
Orchestra's second concert of the
season, Feb. 26, at 8:30 p.m. in
the Jericho High School
Auditorium on Cedar Swamp
Road (Route 107), Jericho.
Directing the concert is Martin
Dreiwitz. As lie explains, .the
orchestra will perform a most
challenging work of Gustav
Mahler's Fifth Symphony. "This
emotional, beautiful symphony
has probably rarely, if over, been
performed by a youth or­chestra",
he notes.
The concert will open with an
overture by Vaughan-Williams,
"The Wasps," followed by C. M.
von Weber's Konzertstueck for
Piano and Orchestra opus 79. The
soloist will be 17-year old Michael
Lewin, one of Long Island's most
promising young pianists.
Tickets are available at $3 for
adults or $1.50 for students, by
calling 883-2242.
Local members of the or­chestra
include Bethpage:- Keith
Rieger, percussion, and Plain-view
players Michelle Breger,
Cello; Roy Cohen, Bass; Sue
Kaplan, Bassoon; and Jesse
Levine, Trumpet.
Scout Michael Dallachiara of Seaford helps Joan
O'Carrol, a nurse with The Greater New York Blood
Program, prepare Mrs. John Grella, also of Seaford, to
donate blood. Michael and Mrs. Grella were among the
more than 250 people who came to the Plainedge
Public Library on Sunday, February 13, to donate
blood or to help in this first blood drive of the Plainedge
Community Blood Program. The establishment of this
important community service in Plainedge, U.F.S.D.
18, is an outstanding example of citizens, working
together, unselfishly, for the good of the entire com­munity.
Tax Deadline Postponed
Solomon Newborn, Receiver of
Taxes, Town of Oyster Bay,
reminded taxpayers today that
the filing deadline for Forms 1040
has been extended two days this
year.
Ordinarily, April 15 is the last
date the returns may be filed.
However, since this year it falls
on a Saturday, the filing deadline
has become April 17.
Federal income taxpayers in
this area generally send their tax
returns to the Andoyer Service
Center which is especially geared
for high volume processing of
returns due refunds early in the
filing period. This year,
projections indicate more than 9
million of the 11.9 million forms
1040 to be processed at Andover
will require refunds estimated to
total $2 billion.
To accomplish processing of
refunds and continue an even
flow, the early filing of refund
returns is necessary. It will be
mutually beneficial to IRS and
the taxpayers to send refund
returns as early as possible,
especially during February and
March, adds Newborn.
Newborn said it generally
takes from 6 to 8 weeks from the
date of receipt of returns for
refunds to be issued. Ac­cordingly,
follow-up inquiries
should not be made until this time
has elapsed. However, the Center
is able to process refund returns
filed early in the year much more
quickly than those sent later in
the filing period.
"Please file early!" he urged.
Slate Grant Goes To Train Police
Nassau County Executive
Ralph G. Caso announced last
week that the Nassau Police
Department has applied to the
State Office of Crime Control
Planning for a $222,000 grant to
modernize techniques and
equipment for police training.
"The traditional method of
returning men to classes for
refresher and supplemental
training often presents personnel
problems." Caso said. "Police
officers have their own
responsibilities within the
department and very often find it
difficult to handle assigned
lectures as well," he explained.
"Project Teleview" would
provide the necessary personnel
and audio-visual equipment to
modernize the present system.
The Police Department would
then be able to prepare video
tapes to be shown on television
units located in police precincts
throughout the county.
Caso noted that the use of video
tape would require fewer in­structors
and provide a superior
level of training
"This media also will en­courage
community involvement
by providing programs in crime
prevention and respect for law
and order to be shown to school
and adult education groups and
crime prevention organizations
throughout the county." said
Police Commissioner Louis
Frank.
